Racist campaign poster
A campaign poster from 1866 that depicts a white man and a black man and explains which parties and politicians support "negro suffrage" and which "platform is for the White Man."
The text of the poster reads: "The Two Platforms: Every radical in Congress voted for Negro suffrage. Every radical in the Pennsylvania Senate voted for Negro suffrage. Stevens, Forney, and Cameron are for Negro suffrage; they are all candidates for the United States Senate. No radical newspaper opposes Negro suffrage. Geary said in a speech at Harrisburg 11th of August, 1866--'There can be no possible objection to Negro suffrage.' Clymer's platform is for the White Man. Geary's platform is for the Negro. Read the Platforms. Congress says, the Negro must be allowed to vote, or the states be punished."
